Philia took Noland Lee for a tour around the Laboratory Hall as they waited for the preparation of the site, using the opportunity to show him around.
As they walked, she explained:
“We often have wizards from other factions visiting here. If they need to use a magic laboratory, they come to this place. We haven’t had many visitors recently, so you can use this place as you wish.”
A pale green wind vortex floated over, extending a flattened wind belt in front of Philia, pointing to a door nearby.
The information fed back from the Deconstruction technique showed that the wind vortex was a Magic Servant.
Philia understood the meaning of the magic servant:
“The Magic Craftsman Table and the Magic Cat are ready. Let’s head there.”
They stopped in front of the door.
On the door, it read “Wand Crafting Room.”
“We didn’t originally have a place for making wands of the Death Series here. To make our own Death Series wand, we temporarily transformed a room into a wand crafting room. The room may lack some tools and magic materials. If you find that something is missing, you can tell me anytime. I will be waiting outside.”
Philia entered the wand crafting room and placed the metal box containing the magic wand on the circular craftsman table.
Apart from the tools required for wand making, there was also a small yellow-brown cat locked in a metal cage on the table.
Its head had a triangular shape, somewhat like a sand fox.
Its eyes were dark brown and clearly revealed vigilance and ferocity.
Its four paws were black, with sharp nails protruding from the paw pads, apparently in a state of readiness to attack at any moment.
“This is a Sand Iris Cat, possessing a strength comparable to a high-level Wizard Apprentice. It has mastered at least 5 types of Earth Elemental Magic and 3 types of Wind Elemental Magic. The Rune Cage restricts its actions. As long as you don’t open the cage, it cannot cast any magic.”
Philia patted the cage, causing the Magic Cat inside to hiss angrily, baring its teeth.
The cat looked extremely wild, with fierce light in its eyes, clearly not wanting to be tamed.
As for docile cats that were willing to be close to humans, the Cat Society had a gentle attitude towards them. They would use methods that did not harm the cat to remove the magic material from their bodies.
Treatment would be different for overly wild cats like the Sand Iris Cat.
Even the gentle Philia seemed to be somewhat impatient and disgusted with it.
“The Sand Iris Cat has a very strong temperament. Be careful when you operate, and don’t get hurt by it.”
Philia gave a few reminders before leaving the wand crafting room, leaving the space entirely to Noland Lee to control.
Noland Lee locked the door and stood in front of the Magic Cat, throwing out his Deconstruction technique.
[System message: You are about to use the Deconstruction technique on the “Sand Iris Cat (Level 20).”]
“Four thousand energy points! If I just use the Passive Deconstruction method to completely deconstruct this Magic Cat, I could gain 4000 energy points!” Noland Lee’s breathing paused, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulence in his heart, and started to work around the Craftsman Table.
The first step was to confirm whether the tools and magic materials needed for wand making were in place.
This step was not difficult.
Noland Lee visualized the wand making instructions in his mind, and step by step, put the required items on the Craftsman Table.
The items included:
A Magic Craftsman Apron with enchantments such as “Toughness,” “Resist Energy,” “Emergency Shield,” and multiple other magic effects.
A Magic Surgical Knife with enchantments such as “Blade Sharpness,” “Stable
Edge,” and “Painless Cutting.”
A Magic Metal Injector with enchantments like “Enhanced Penetration,” “Liquid Stopback,” and “Rapid Injection.”
And so on.
Noland Lee neatly sorted these items on the table, then put on enchanted gloves that were waterproof, resistant to poison, and insulated from energy reactions. He then began his first magic experiment since crossing over.
As an inexperienced person unfamiliar with this world and without professional training, this operation seemed quite challengin like forcing a duck to climb a tree.
However, it doesn’t matter.
Wand making is a process with only the first time and countless times after.
One day, I, Noland Lee, will become a wand making master.
Yes!
Noland Lee clenched his fists, cheering himself on.
He picked up the Threaded Magic Wand and added the “Wood Softener.” Fine bubbles appeared on the surface of the magic wand. After about three minutes, the hard texture of the threaded rod became soft.
He took a hammer and chisel, and tapped the threaded surface along its texture, cutting open a gap at the closed part of the threaded rod.
He then gently rubbed and slightly pried the crack, revealing the Wand core hidden inside.
When Philia and the others made this wand, they used a Fresh Magic Seed as the Wand core.
When Magic Seeds are soaked in a nutrient solution rich in magic energy, they can absorb and store vast amounts of magic energy, continuously supplying power to the magic wand – this function is similar to a battery.
As the Magic Seed grows and sprouts, the power of the wand becomes more potent, and its appearance changes accordingly.
This method of using the Magic Seed as a Wand core is prevalent in written examples of wands making.
It could be said that more than 30% of wizards use this method to make their wands, favoring this slowly growing and strengthening magic wand as long it is carefully nurtured.
However, in the field of Death Series magic, this approach is not feasible..
